Investigation of the influence of cAMP on neuronal electric activity
suggests that nerve cells can solve problems using an intraneuronal
calculating medium based on the cytoskeleton. When a new problem is
posed, this structure has to be disassembled and assembled by the
neuronal molecular computer according to the program recorded in DNA.
If DNA lacks an appropriate program, the cytoskeleton will not be
assembled. In our experiments, fishes which were rotated simultaneously
around two mutually perpendicular axes lost their swimming ability, and
some dramatic changes were observed in the cytoskeleton of their
Mauthner neurons. These changes disappeared after a long-term rest: the
cytoskeleton was restored simultaneously with the ability for normal
swimming.
KEY WORDS: molecular quantum generator, cytoskeleton, calculating
